rillig | lint: add more details to message about pointer alignment
The previous message 'may cause alignment problem' was not detailed
enough to be actionable, it didn't give the necessary insight to why
lint was complaining at all.
The new message 'increases alignment from 1 to 4' or 'from 2 to 8'
describes the potentially problematic conversion, and together with the
involved type names, it allows an informed decision about whether lint's
warning is warranted or not.
In a typical NetBSD build, this warning is in the top 10. The number of
these warnings depends on the architecture, it is typically between 800
and 1600.

rillig | lint: allow pointer casts from 'char *' and 'unsigned char *'
For the sake of traditional code that did not yet migrate to using 'void
*' for arbitrary pointers.
In the standard NetBSD build, this reduces the number of lint warnings
by around 7000, of 57000 total.

rillig | lint: do not warn about alignment when casting from incomplete struct
This removes a bunch of technically correct but practically useless
warnings from the regular NetBSD build.

rillig | lint: add type information to 'possible pointer alignment problem [135]'
This warning occurs more than 7400 times in a regular NetBSD build, and
without giving any type information, leaves the reader clueless about
what the underlying issue might be. Add type information since that is
a no-brainer to implement.

rillig | lint: force each test to declare the expected diagnostics
By listing the expected diagnostics directly at the code that triggers
the diagnostics, it is easier to cross-check whether the diagnostics
make sense.
No functional change to lint itself.

rillig | lint: add a test for each message produced by lint1
Having a test for each message ensures that upcoming refactorings don't
break the basic functionality. Adding the tests will also discover
previously unknown bugs in lint.
The tests ensure that every lint message can actually be triggered, and
they demonstrate how to do so. Having a separate file for each test
leaves enough space for documenting historical anecdotes, rationale or
edge cases, keeping them away from the source code.
The interesting details of this commit are in Makefile and
t_integration.sh. All other files are just auto-generated.
When running the tests as part of ATF, they are packed together as a
single test case. Conceptually, it would have been better to have each
test as a separate test case, but ATF quickly becomes very slow as soon
as a test program defines too many test cases, and 50 is already too
many. The time complexity is O(n^2), not O(n) as one would expect.
It's the same problem as in tests/usr.bin/make, which has over 300 test
cases as well.
